Damon,
When you get a list of names inside a folder, subfolder names end with "/".
Thus, what I've done in the past to process subfolders is run a for loop to
parse through the list of names in a folder and for each name that ends with
"/" run another for loop to parse through the files in that subfolder. The
code looks something like this:
mainDir = getDirectory("Choose a main directory ");
mainList = getFileList(mainDir);
for (i=0; i<mainList.length; i++) { // for loop to parse through names in
main folder
if(endsWith(mainList[i], "/")){ // if the name is a subfolder...
subDir = mainDir + mainList[i];
subList = getFileList(subDir);
for (j=0; j<subList.length; j++) { // for loop to parse through
names in subfolder
// DO STUFF
}
}
}
Good luck!
